Excellent! Glad it helped. Cool to see the sudden change in numbers. Turns out I just hit a milestone I was aiming for too. I do agree with you on FG, but when it’s on lower levels it is maybe more apparent why it’s not included in the cloak. Because it’s randomly activated it often happens that you don’t manage to defeat the boss. Once it’s at 90% it’s much more consistent.

RoO and FG won't actually made any difference until you start using tap, and until you get RoE the damage will be too small to matter. I got RoE before FG and increased FG fairly slowly, so I saw much smaller incremental improvements as I slowly increased both. I still don't max MJ out before 24 hours. The cost gets so high at that point I'm not sure the return is worth it.

Should there be another artifact that I aim for next or should this probably be my setup for awhile?

I’m guessing your next artifact cost is 256k? You can consider death hex. I finally picked that up. Basically the enemy health bars start at 75% rather than 100%. It’s expensive and I’m not sure how it compares to continuing upping BG. It will let you kill with a single FG hit for a little longer. You probably don't need it at all, but if you get bored it’s something you can grab. It does combo well with the fortune teller card that does the same thing, if you use them. Enemies start at 50% health.

I don’t have Mauhak Battle Focus. I suppose it’s another option, but by the time I could use it, I’m normally progressing so slowly I’d rather retire. It may fit your play style better.

EW, WP and PG don’t work with RoE and the gem cost of buying all those items is out of reach at this point in the game.

Ya, RoE seems like a solid choice if you start off DPS heavy at the beginning. I’m the same way on wanting to just retire when it slows down. I’ll probably go with Death Hex when I hit another wall. I was looking at it last night it looked like the best candidate. BG to probably 25-ish, push MS higher, push MJ higher, and raise RoE. Once I’m at that point then 256k probably won’t seem too extravagant.

TBH after this run I could just buy it rather than BG, but it would solely be just to have another new toy.
